Excerpt from Report on the Automatic Telephone Situation in the City of Chicago Submitted to the Committee on Gas, Oil and Electric Light Of some importance in the present situation are several provisions in this 1903 ordinance relating to the future acquirement by the City of the tunnels and the telephone property. The ordinance provided that at the expiration of the third year period of the first ordinance - that is, on February 19, 1929 - all the tunnels constructed under either ordinance should become the absolute property of the City of Chicago. It also gave the City the right to purchase the tunnel and transportation facilities at an appraised value in 1923 - twenty years from the date of the 1903 grant. The date of the right of the City to purchase the telephone property remained as before, in 1929 - at the end of the original thirty year grant. In case the City should exercise its right to purchase the tunnels in 1923, the Company was to be permitted to secure space for its telephone cables under lease from the City at reasonable rates. In 1929, how ever, when in any event, according to the ordinance, the title to the tunnels passes to. The City, the Company was to be required to vacate the tunnels or lease from the City space for its telephone cables.

Excerpt from Transactions of the New York Electrical Society, Vol. 6: Modern Telephone Engineering; Lecture Delivered Before the New York Electrical Society, February 14, 1901 It may be imagined that the failure of any source of energy in a large telephone system is a matter of most seri ous moment. The cutting off of one branch of the current supply would cause consternation in the entire business organization of a community. In order to prevent any such breakdown, all portions of the power plant are made in duplicate, and where it is possible duplicate primary sources of power are also made available. Frequently the large telephone companies employ their own steam generating plant, which they use constantly, with the current from city mains as a reserve supply.

Kempster Blanchard Miller
Edit ProfileEducation
Miller received his elementary and high-school education in Washington, D. C. , and in 1893 graduated from Cornell University with the degree of mechanical engineer.
Career
For the next three years after his graduation, Miller was an assistant examiner in the electrical division of the United States Patent Office, Washington, where he had charge of inventions relating to telephony. In 1896, after a brief period with the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he accepted a position as chief electrician for the Western Telephone Construction Company, Chicago, Illinois, where he had charge of the manufacture of telephone apparatus. During 1898, he was employed in an editorial capacity by the International Correspondence Schools at Scranton, Pennsylvania. From 1899 to 1904, he was with the Kellogg Switchboard & Supply Company, Chicago. In charge of its experimental shop and ultimately of the entire plant, he designed new apparatus and made several important inventions. In 1904, he began a period of private practice in partnership with Samuel G. McMeen, which lasted until 1918, when the partnership was dissolved. During the latter part of this period, he served as chief engineer to the receiver for the Central Union Telephone Company. In 1918, after the dissolution of the firm of McMeen & Miller, he became general manager of the reorganized North Electric Manufacturing Company, Galion, Ohio, a position which he held until early in 1923 when he removed to Pasadena, California. From 1924 to 1926, however, he served as an expert consultant for the New York Telephone Company in connection with rate cases and in a similar capacity for the Bell Telephone Company of Canada. He was also employed as a consultant for the American Telephone & Telegraph Company. During his career, he served at one time or another as director of Cook Electric Company, the Belding Manufacturing Company, and the Kellogg Switchboard & Supply Company of Chicago; the Bend Water, Light & Power Company, Oregon; and the Coventry Automatic Telephones, Ltd. , England. After suffering from a heart ailment for some time, he died at Pasadena in his sixty-fourth year.
Achievements
-
Miller was one of the country's foremost experts on telephone design, construction, and operation, though his work was not confined to this field. He designed and built several hydroelectric plants in Oregon and southern California, and the fire alarm system of New York City was designed by him. In 1899, he published American Telephone Practice, a work of nine hundred pages, which went through four editions, the last appearing in 1905. In collaboration with S. G. McMeen, he prepared Telephony (1912). During his later years in Pasadena, he wrote Telephone Theory and Practice, the first volume of which was published in 1930 and the second and third in 1933. He also contributed numerous articles to technical periodicals.
